star this property answer text <p>No UK Reapers have been flown on missions by US personnel or those of any other Coalition nation in Syria since January 2015. US personnel have operated UK Reaper aircraft a small number of times to aid with the launch and recovery of the aircraft only, not the mission itself. A Memorandum of Understanding has been agreed between the UK and US Air Forces which allows the US to request the use of UK Reaper aircraft to conduct missions and vice versa, though to date this has not occurred. Such use by the US would be subject to UK permissions.</p> more like this

In addition to the redundancy scheme our intimidation policy supports all staff, regardless of role or employment duration, who may be facing security risks as a result of their work with British Forces.</p><p>The UK is the only nation with a permanent team including trained investigation officers in country to investigate claims of intimidation. These experts thoroughly and professionally investigate all claims of intimidation and have provided support to over 200 former local staff including bespoke security advice and financial support for some 30 relocations within Afghanistan. We have not found an intimidation case where the threat is such that we need to relocate the local staff to the UK to make them safe. This intimidation policy is open-ended, and applies to all local staff regardless of date or duration of service.</p>
